Re: 5-10-10 Cincy at the Pirates

2 games over .500 woooooooooo

"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."

Re: 5-10-10 Cincy at the Pirates

Puffy Pig was right. Codero might yet send me to intensive care with his version of "shutting the door," but he gets the job done.

17-15 with a good chance to sweep this series sounds good to me. I still can't figure out why the Pirates don't give anyone fits like the Reds. Yes, they have left handed pitching, but other teams simply maul them while we have to pick and fight for two runs. Makes no sense. Anyway, a good night in RedsLand.

Re: 5-10-10 Cincy at the Pirates

folks either didn't experience or don't remember John Franco. he got the job done but it seemed like a lot of the time he loaded the bases first. he seemed to get a lot of his saves via double plays to end the game.

In baseball 5 over against a team in 33 games is borderline owning them. Just think, the difference between average and elite is one game every couple of weeks. The gap between the awful (Pirates) and not quite as bad (Reds) is even smaller.

Re: 5-10-10 Cincy at the Pirates

Didn't someone post earlier tonight that the Reds were 13-5 against the Pirates last year though? It sounds like they figured some things out last year and the Reds could easily match that same record this year (currently 1-4 with a bunch of games to go). I'm not too worried and hey, even a one run win is still a win which I'll gladly take over a division rival any day of the week.

An MLB.com reporter asked what one thing Votto couldn’t do. “I can’t skate or play hockey,” Votto said. “Well, I can skate ... but I can’t stop.”

I saw 19-14 over the last two years (08-09), but only 1-3 this year so far. Regardless, it should be better considering how poor they've been. No matter, the past is the past and with my wife being from Pittsburgh, these games are very important to me .
